Sydney-based startup OCR Labs is the first company to receive licensing from Australia's government to be a digital identification provider, InnovationAus reports. OCR earned accreditation via the Digital Transformation Agency’s Trusted Digital Identity Framework. OCR will not officially be a provider until Australia passes legislation to allow a broad expansion of the country's digital ID program, with a bill expected to be presented to Parliament in the near future.
